The Republic of Thorn58 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its lack of airports, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.727 billion Thorn58ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 72.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Thorn58ian economy, worth 761 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 133,038 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
It is illegal to distribute Girl Guide Cookies without an advanced food hygiene diploma, APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Thorn58's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Thorn58 is ranked 42,674th in the world and 1st in Frandford Coalition for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,114 Standard Monetary Units.
